Q

2nd half of cycle

A

luteal phase/secretory

26
Q

when does follicular transition to luteal?

A

ovulation

27
Q

1st phase of menstrual cycle

A

bleeding (menses)

28
Q

2nd phase of mens ecycle

A

follicular

29
Q

3rd phase of mens cycle

A

ovulation

30
Q

4th phase of menses cycled

A

luteal

31
Q

FSH does what?

A

drives egg development

32
Q

once egg begins to grow, hormones come from…and what hormone is it?

A

the ovaries - during follicular phase it’s estrogen - estradiol rises

33
Q

what hormone supresses FSH?

A

estrogen

34
Q

once estrogen gets high enough (egg is mature) - what hormone is released?

A

drives LH surge

35
Q

LH surge - what happens to estrogen?

A

estradiol drops

36
Q

once ovulation occurs, follicle (holding the egg) turns into what?

A

it is a struture in the follicle called corpus luteum

37
Q

the coprus luteum secretes

A

estrogren and progesterone - progesterone will prepare lining of uterus for pregnancy

38
Q

HGc feeds

A

corpus luteum if there is a pregnancy and keeps hormone levels elevated - if not the corpus dies

39
Q

if cycle is irregular, what phase is it?

A

it’s the follicular phase

40
Q

uterus should be what size? (around ovulation)

A

3 layers and 7 mm thick

41
Q

how does lining develop?

A

receptors in lining respond to estrogen

42
Q

proliferative phase - what happens to the uterus? (proliferate the lining)

A

when uterine lining is being laid down

43
Q

secretory phase

A

luteal phase when glands are developing

44
Q

HPO axis

A

hypothalyamic pituitary ovarian axis - communicaton between these

45
Q

HPO access

A

GnRH (hypo) - tells anterior pituitary to secrete FSH - makes follicles grow - estrogen then rises - when it’s high enough it becomes negative feedback - suppresses FSH

46
Q

hypothalamus releases what hormones

A

GRH

47
Q

anterior pituitary - what hormones

A

FSH/LH

48
Q

follicles in ovaries - what hormone

A

estrogen

49
Q

corpus luteum - what hormones

A

progesterone and estrogen

50
Q

when egg is fertilized and moves through fallopian tube - timeline

A

takes one week

51
Q

blastocyst stage

A

when egg gets to end of fallopian tube and ready to implant

52
Q

follicular phase other name

A

proliferative

53
Q

luteal phase - other name

A

secretory

54
Q

when is estradiol highest?

A

late follicular

55
Q

which hormone produced by corpus luteum prepares endomentrium for implantation and maintains fetal unit during 1st trimester?

A

progesterone

56
Q

memorize hormone

A

graphs

57
Q

estrogen does what?

A

turns off FSH and LH and makes endometrium thicker

58
Q

corpus luteum is

A

the shell that held the ovary before it was released. Once released, it secretes estrogen and progesterone to help thicken lining of uterusi

59
Q

if the egg is not fertilized and corpus luteum collapses, what happens to the hormones?

A

estrogen and progesterone decrease

60
Q
A
61
Q

Hgc does what?

A

helps keep estrogen and progesterone levels high by keeping corpus luteum open in the ovaries
